Maximized entrepreneurs (ME) are those who make a conscious choice to commit proactively to a lifetime career as an ME, determined to top out as the successful and fulfilled architects of their own entrepreneurial lives by strategically aligning every axis of their lives for maximal impact.  The ME fully embraces their drive toward full potential, both for themselves and their organization(s) through a commitment to entrepreneurial and organizational leadership development.

What’s the Matter with Delaware?...

Hal Weitzman

The legal home to over a million companies, Delaware has more registered businesses than residents. Why do virtually all of the biggest corporations in the United States register there? This book reveals how a systematic enterprise lies behind the business-friendly corporate veneer, one that has kept the state afloat financially by diverting public funds away from some of the poorest people in the United States and supporting dictators and criminals across the world. 
 
 
 
Hal Weitzman shows how the de facto capital of corporate America has provided safe haven to money launderers, kleptocratic foreign rulers, and human traffickers, and facilitated tax dodging and money laundering by multinational companies and international gangsters. Revenues from Delaware's business-formation industry, known as the Franchise, account for two-fifths of the state's budget and have helped to keep the tax burden on its residents among the lowest in the United States. Delaware derives enormous political clout from the Franchise, effectively writing the corporate code for the entire country. 
 
 
 
What's the Matter with Delaware? shows how, in Joe Biden's home state, the corporate laws get written behind closed doors, enabling the rich and powerful to do business in the shadows.

The Irish Potato Famine - A...

Sarah Willards

The Irish Potato Famine, one of the most devastating events in Irish history, did not occur in a vacuum but was the result of a complex web of agricultural, social, and political factors that had been building for centuries. Understanding the roots of the famine requires a deep dive into the role of potatoes in Irish agriculture, the socio-economic conditions of 19th-century Ireland, and the historical context of British colonial policies that shaped the lives of the Irish people.
The potato had become the cornerstone of Irish agriculture by the early 19th century. Its ability to grow in Ireland's challenging soil and its high nutritional value made it the ideal crop for the majority of the population. Potatoes provided an inexpensive, calorie-dense food source that sustained not only the rural laborers but also their families. By the 1840s, the potato was so integrated into Irish life that it made up the bulk of the diet for the rural poor, with many families relying solely on it for sustenance. This dependency created a fragile agricultural system, highly vulnerable to disease or crop failure.
The socio-economic conditions in Ireland at the time were dire. Most of the population lived in poverty, working as tenant farmers for English or Anglo-Irish landlords. The vast majority of land was concentrated in the hands of a small elite, and the system of land tenure kept most Irish peasants in a state of near-perpetual debt. This imbalance exacerbated the poverty faced by the rural poor, many of whom were already struggling to make ends meet. As a result, when the potato crop began to fail, the majority of Irish farmers had little in reserve and were left with few options for survival.
